Ice! At The Gaylord Texan

This past weekend we met the family at the Gaylord Texan hotel to visit Ice! featuring Frosty the Snowman.

From the official website:

"Join Frosty, everyone's favorite snowman, and his friends on their quest to the North Pole in a colorfully frozen retelling of this original Christmas classic! Favorite scenes come to life in more than TWO MILLION pounds of hand-carved ice sculptures, including two-story tall ice slides."

It's hard to appreciate how cold 9 degrees actually feels until you're surrounded by it for about 30 minutes in rooms made of ice and filled with ice.

We had a great time.  Here's some pictures:

The closer you get, the colder it gets
Finally inside and OMG IT'S FROSTY! is it cold!  Everything is made of ice, the walls, the figures, the decorations.  You will be too if you linger too long.
